  “So you’ve decided to give in to the Devil,” said the priest. John Vianney started back in dismay—"No, Father!" "But you just told me you were giving up your studies for the priesthood," responded Father Balley. This book tells what took place next, along with the many adventures that met young St. John Vianney (even his fights with the Devil) when he set out to become a priest, ending up one of the Church's most glorious saints. 
  Mary Fabyan Windeatt was known as “the storyteller of the saints.” In the 1950s and 60s she wrote over twenty historical fiction novels on the saints, bringing to life these holy men and women for young readers across the world. By artistically rendering familiar stories, the Windeatt books help readers see that the saints are real people whom we can emulate. 
  Ideal for all children, especially those enrolled in TAN Academy in kindergarten through third grades, for easy-reading literature.

  Stewarding Wounded Hearts -...

  When wounded people come to church … 
  We often do one of two things, with the best of intentions: 
  1.   We minimize or discount their pain. 
  2.   We try to “fix” them by being the therapist. 
  But both just cause more damage that we don’t know we’re causing. We want to help. We have the right heart. But we’ve made it clear we don’t understand their pain, so they keep it secret. 
  What if there’s another way? 
  At the end of the day, whether we are Jesus to wounded people or unintentionally cause more damage depends on how well we steward wounded hearts. 
  This book shows you how. 
  “I just read the first chapter and all I can say is WOW. I can see myself utilizing this information and teaching it line for line in my Wednesday night adult teaching lessons.” -- Pastor Phil Corbett, First Assembly of God, Corrigan, Texas 
  “I’ve already used one of your chapters in a homily for my parish. I look forward to incorporating these things immediately into my ministry!” -- Father Jonathan Goertz, Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, Henrico, VA 
  Because if they can’t go to the people of God when they’re hurting, where can they go?

  Wounded Pastors - Navigating...

  You're not alone in your ministry. And you don't have to suffer in silence. Ministry is a stressful vocation, with unspoken expectations, projected anxieties, and conflicting demands. After the pandemic caused a sudden shift to online worship and factions fighting over when and how to return to in-person worship, pastors have been leaving congregational ministry at even higher rates than usual. The emotional fallout of burnout and abuse at the hands of parishioners is something pastors carry for years, whether they stay or leave the congregation. 
   
   
   
  Seasoned pastor Carol Howard Merritt and psychotherapist and former pastor James Fenimore join their expertise to offer validation, support, and guidance for pastors who have been hurt by the church. With wisdom that can come only from experience, they describe and define aspects of struggle and pain listeners may have difficulty articulating or claiming for themselves, and they offer compassionate, informed guidance on how to find healing. A systems approach to conflict sheds light on the dynamics of church conflict and how clergy can tend their own well-being amid leadership challenges. The final chapter helps listeners consider their overall vocational path based on what they've experienced and decide whether they can remain in congregational ministry or need to pursue a different line of work.
